Thank you for being so enthusiastic! This specific poem is about the sad death of a great patriot:
- In heavens eternal court it was decreed
- How the first martyr for the cause should bleed
- To clear the country of the hated brood
- He whet his courage for the common good
- Long hid before, a vile infernal here
- Prevents Achilles in his mid career
- Where'er this fury darts his Pois'nous breath
- All are endanger'd to the shafts of death
- The generous Sires beheld the fatal wound
- Saw their young champion gasping on the ground
- They rais'd him up. but to each present ear
- What martial glories did his tongue declare
- The wretch appal'd no longer can despise
- But from the Striking victim turns his eyes —
- When this young martial genius did appear
- The Tory cheifs no longer could forbear.
- Ripe for destruction, see the wretches doom
- He waits the curses of the age to come
- In vain he flies, by Justice Swiftly chaced
- With unexpected infamy disgraced
- Be Richardson for ever banish'd here
- The grand Usurpers bravely vaunted Heir.
- We bring the body from the watry bower
- To lodge it where it shall remove no more.
- Snider behold with what Majestic Love
- The Illustrious retinue begins to move
- With Secret rage fair freedoms foes beneath
- See in thy corse ev'n Majesty in Death.
